We're in our first year of pool ownership. I'm guessing this is some sort of algae. What to do? Here's the background...
Two weeks ago the water was crystal clear. We had a tropical storm come through and dump a lot of rain. Last weekend this yellowish pollen-colored stuff started showing up on the bottom and walls. And the water started getting cloudy. I brushed the pool and vacuumed last weekend.
This Friday (6/10) I Tested the water and vacuumed.
Test results 6/10:
pH=7.8
TA=80
FC=2.5
CC=0.5
TC=3.0
CH=100
CYA=40-50
Salinity=2840
I added CYA, salt, and bumped up the % on the salt generator. I left the pump running and it has been running since Friday.
I was out of town yesterday but just now tested the water again. The water has cleared up more since Friday but still not crystal clear. The yellowish is back on the bottom already.
Test results 6/12:
pH=7.5
TA=80
FC=5.5
CC=0.5
TC=6.0
CH=100
CYA=60
Salinity=3500
Here's the picture from just now. On my phone so give me a minute to get it up.
